I strive to be in
touch with the land, particularly the land of the Texas coast. I feel nature's
power in the soil, the energy of the trees, the plants, and the flowers. By
embracing the earth with my heart as well as my eyes, I am inspired with intense
feeling. This is when the tree that I have been looking at becomes another type
of tree. This intimacy with landscapes and still lifes has helped to develop
a better sense of self and clarity in my painting. I paint not the appearance
of things, but how they affect me; together all of this becomes what I need
to make a painting. As in nature, I would hope my art communicates pleasure
and serenity, inviting the viewer into a world of wonder.
